BOOYAH

it was the media's fault she's looked like a fucking dipshit the last couple weeks

10/2/2008 10:29:58 PM

reign in government spending?

Wat does that mean?

10/2/2008 10:29:58 PM

Did she just claim that she was middle class?

10/2/2008 10:30:13 PM

REAGAN!

10/2/2008 10:30:23 PM

10/2/2008 10:30:28 PM

10/2/2008 10:30:35 PM

I like to answer these TOUGH questions????


WTF BITCH, you didn't even know the meaning of CLIMAT CHANGE and ACHILLE'S HEEL

10/2/2008 10:30:39 PM

what the fuck is she talking about?

10/2/2008 10:31:09 PM

Regan-off!

10/2/2008 10:31:10 PM

McCain and Palin are gonna fight for the middle class!!!!!!111111111111111111!#@!

10/2/2008 10:31:21 PM

At least she didn't say Maverick (although there is some time left!)

yes

I have no idea how she arrived at that conclusion

FOX NEWS SURVEY REPORTS THAT 98/100 STAUNCH REPUBLICANS BELEIVE PALIN WON THE DEBATE

10/2/2008 10:32:21 PM

Do you mean tough questions like:

What do you read?

What do you disagree with?

Hard Pressing Questions like that, Palin?

Oof.

10/2/2008 10:32:35 PM

Why is every election "the most important election?" Get over yourselves.

10/2/2008 10:33:04 PM

Props to Palin for not completely self destructing, but this wasn't close.

10/2/2008 10:33:09 PM

Katie Couric just claimed that Palin didn't embarrass herself and her party.

That's an extremely bold claim.

10/2/2008 10:34:14 PM

palin was a vapid talking point reciting robot

10/2/2008 10:34:38 PM

^^ She didn't. Palin set the bar really low for herself and soared over it. But she's running for VP, not for just personal improvement.

10/2/2008 10:36:51 PM

hahaha...you guys are pitiful...i feel like i am reading the comments at RAW Story....unreal..

10/2/2008 10:39:23 PM

I wouldn't say that Biden won this debate...

I'd say that Palin barely even participated in it. She ignored half the questions and just threw out a slew of words...

10/2/2008 10:41:09 PM

she started off really bad


but she got more confident and comfortable as it went on... it's kind of disappointing she's been sheltered and defined by a few sound bites because she was really starting completely from scratch tonight

10/2/2008 10:41:47 PM

i hope to god the obama camp takes her to the mat on that whole wanting another debate comment...comedy like needs a sequel

10/2/2008 10:43:08 PM

her bar was really low so im sure many will say she won but I thought Biden was clearly the more passionate, caring, strong, and knowledgeable of the two. By a landslide.

10/2/2008 10:44:38 PM

she just spewed talking points and buzz words all night. she probably answer less than half of the questions. biden was clearly more intelligent and knowledgeable on ALL subject. it's a shame americans are dumb as fuck and eat up this folksy bullshit palin was spouting

10/2/2008 10:47:04 PM

given the expectations coming in, she did better in this than McCain did last week

10/2/2008 10:47:50 PM

I did not see Palin throwing out any numbers.

Biden seemed to know a lot more specifics than she did.

and the shout-out. don't forget the shout-out to 3rd graders. cute.

10/2/2008 10:49:06 PM

i scored it

biden 12 (15, -3)
palin 7 (12, -5)

I'd say Palin started strong out of the gates then went on a huge slump. She didn't answer questions and would just start talking about random things. Lost the 2nd qtr then won the 3rd qtr and slightly lost the 4th qtr. Biden at times got repetitive and Palin, unlike Mccain but like Obama talked more regular people talk.

Palin had the play of the game though but I forgot the point.


Palin :
"don't let Iran have nuclear energy or weapons"
"don't talk to people that don't like America"
"fuck your debate, i talk about what I want to talk about when i feel like it"

Biden negatives:
"Mccain is the only one that doesn't have an exit plan on the war"->"mccain is no maverick on the war"

she's charismatic as shit, and unfortunately many people don't know a damn thing about politics and see that as a greater attribute than the experience and knowledge Biden possesses.

overall, Palin did better than I expected. I wasn't expecting her to be able to string a coherent sentence together.

Also, did Biden get choked up or what?

10/2/2008 10:50:13 PM

Biden won the debate as a whole. More knowledgable, more poised, better spoken, better informed.

But proportionately, Palin won. She had little to lose and a lot to gain, and gain she did. I think she won a lot of moderate conservative vote back. For the most part, I don't think this debate helped change that many minds, but it more likely helped reinforce people's hesitations. Just my opinion.

10/2/2008 10:50:52 PM

she's dumber than a box of hair

10/2/2008 10:51:50 PM

Whenever she's really threatened by something, she pulls her face back a bit, scrunches her nose up, and pours on the accent even heavier... trying to be "cute" to escape from questions...

Hopefully some average Americans are aware/intelligent enough to spot this and hopefully they despise it to the core as much as I do.

10/2/2008 10:52:25 PM

did you guys the see the analysts' scorecard on cnn?

6 analysts.

biden won 5
palin won 1

10/2/2008 10:53:46 PM

Did anyone see the dumbass on CBS from Idaho who was in the Nielsen room? 'I picked Palin because she answered the questions better'

10/2/2008 10:54:07 PM

Well I'm definitely surrounded here by Obama supporters, but I'll toss in my observations.

Yes, when it came to giving out talking points, she was stilted and stiff...not a pro at it like Biden. But when she talked off the cuff and used that folksy tone -which drives you all crazy- I think she gained a of of support from regular people.

As much as you won't like it, she scored big points in the fly-over country tonight.

Now with Biden. I really liked his talk about his family and roots. Kind of reminded me that he once, a long time ago, wasn't a senator. I wasn't so worried that he would say something goofy, but that he would slip and start making incorrect statements. Time and research will tell on this.

10/2/2008 10:54:07 PM

I mean don't get me wrong, she did good, better than I expected for sure, but not good enough to some how reverse any trend here I mean come on...

10/2/2008 10:54:42 PM

Palin won


but the vice president constitutional power thing is going to come back to haunt her.

What the fuck was that? It was a bizarre position to take, completely wrong, and has terrible risk/reward as a campaign position.

10/2/2008 10:54:50 PM

Kainen, unfortunately, I don't see it that way. She did good enough to get another spike. Chalk it all up to ridiculous...



CBS Poll shows 46-21 % win for Biden among undecided voters. 18% of those are now committed to Obama, 10 to McCain and the rest undecided.

No doubt. So many folks vote based on perceived cultural affiliation. She seems like my kind of person, so I'll vote for her.

I really doubt that. I think McCain would be gleeful if it merely slows his slide.

10/2/2008 10:57:43 PM

Also, I found out stuff about Biden that I didn't know. That's gotta be a plus for obama campaign.

Because if the economy doesn't improve, shit's going to get pretty hairy.

NBC seems to be pushing the idea that Palin did better, which is odd, but they also kept mentioning how low expectations were for her.
